A man accused of removing another man’s testicle during an ‘unauthorised’ surgery in a motel room has pleaded guilty to a number of charges.

Allan George Matthews, 57, is alleged to have responded to an online advert in May from a 52-year-old seeking help with a medical issue, reports The Age.

The pair met at a motel in Port Macquarie later that month when the younger man’s left testicle was surgically removed, police claim.

But authorities were alerted after the man sought treatment at hospital for a wound sustained in the operation, a court heard.

Matthews has pleaded guilty to removing tissue from the body of another without consent or authority.

Following a search of his Glen Innes home, he also pleaded guilty to possessing an ‘unauthorised’ firearm, not keeping a firearm safely, and two counts of possessing or attempting to prescribe restricted substance.

However, he pleaded not guilty to reckless grievous bodily harm.

The 52-year-old sought alternative options because he did not have enough money for proper medical attention, the Sydney Morning Herald understands.
